Lessons from my training: It’s been a very lesson heavy last few months, owed to my introduction to fatherhood, a few illnesses and a few injuries. (One of those things is obviously much more of a joy that the others 😄)
That said, it’s been more of a challenge than expected to put my best foot forward in training for the race that has come to mean the most to me, Mountain Mist 50K, which is coming up in 8 days. Despite that, I’ve still been able to put together a solid training block to feel a sense of readiness.
For runners, facing setbacks in training (especially for our most valued races) can be exceptionally frustrating. But at the end of the day, we must focus on what is and isn’t in our control, accept the things we cannot control, and act on the things we can.
